4 Southeast Technical Institute Program Proposal: Length of Program: Number of Students: Medical Coding Diploma and AAS Two Semesters - Diploma Four Semesters - Degree 24 per cohort Projected Start Date: Fall 2016 Executive Summary Southeast Technical Institute is proposing the addition of a one-year Medical Coding Diploma option to complement our current Medical Coding Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree. The Medical Coding Diploma curriculum will serve as the common first year curriculum for the Medical Coding AAS Degree. Graduates of the Diploma program will have the opportunity to go on for an additional year of school and earn an AAS Degree. The addition of a Medical Coding Diploma Program is in response to requests from Advisory Committee members and industry to provide an option for coders to complete their program in one year. The current Medical Coding AAS Degree curriculum is focused on professional coding, commonly referred to as clinical coding. Southeast Technical Institute has revised the curriculum to have the Medical Coding Diploma program focus on professional coding going forward. Advisory Committee members and industry representatives have asked us to provide a program option which allows students to complete a program in one year and to include an option for students to be trained in hospital-based facility coding via a two-year degree program. The revised AAS degree curriculum will include hospital-based facility coding. Program expansion to include a Medical Coding Diploma option will allow Southeast Technical Institute to address requests from Advisory Committee members and industry representatives. Medical coders review documentation from patients medical records and translate that information into universally recognized, industry-standard medical codes. These codes are used for reimbursement from third-party payers, statistical analysis for tracking incidents of certain diseases and research purposes. Graduates of the Medical Coding Diploma program will demonstrate proficiency in International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10), Clinical Modification (CM), Current Procedural
5 Terminology (CPT), and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code sets. They will have a thorough understanding of the revenue cycle and reimbursement systems. Graduates will be prepared to sit for the Certified Professional Coder (CPC) certification sponsored through the American Academy of Professional Coders. Students who wish to continue their education and earn their Medical Coding AAS Degree can complete their degree in two additional semesters. Graduates with the Medical Coding AAS Degree will demonstrate proficiency in International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10), Clinical Modification (CM), Procedure Coding System, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS). They will also have sound knowledge of medical coding guidelines and regulations including compliance and reimbursement. Graduates will be eligible to take the Certified Coding Specialist (CCS) certification exam sponsored through American Health Information Management Association or the Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC) certification exam sponsored through the American Academy of Professional Coders. Recent changes from International Classification of Disease, 9 th Revision (ICD-9), to International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10) code sets has increased the number of codes more than five-fold to over 69,000 medical codes. The International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10) was adopted in This change, coupled with the aging population in the US, has created an increased demand for well-trained medical coders. In addition, regional health systems expect a significant number of Medical Coders to retire or need significant training. Identification and Description of the Program The Medical Coding program is designed to provide graduates with the skills to become successful medical coders and to prepare them to sit for the certification exam. The program will cover health core, coding and data entry basics and will have significant hands-on laboratory experiences. The curriculum will consist of medical terminology, office procedures, insurance principles, and introductory and advanced coding essentials. The Medical Coding Diploma Program will focus on professional coding. Graduates from the Coding Diploma Program may complete an additional year of classes to earn the Medical Coding AAS Degree. These additional classes will provide graduates with skills and knowledge in hospital-based facility coding. 5
6 Objectives and Purpose of the Program The primary objective of this program is to provide qualified personnel for the billing and coding areas of the health care industry. This objective will be met by providing an education that prepares the graduate to be employed as a certified medical coder. The coding industry is made up of professionals serving in many different roles. There will be an increased demand for coders who have been trained on International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10) standards. The objectives of the program include: Protect the security of medical records to ensure that confidentiality is maintained Review records for completeness, accuracy, and compliance with regulations Retrieve patient medical records for physicians, technicians, or other medical personnel Release information to persons or agencies according to regulations Plan, develop, maintain, or operate a variety of health record indexes for storage and retrieval systems to collect, classify, store, or analyze information Enter data, such as demographic characteristics, history and extent of disease, diagnostic procedures, or treatment into computer systems Compile and maintain patients' medical records to document condition and treatment and to provide data for research or cost control and care improvement efforts Process and prepare business or government forms Process patient admission or discharge documents Assign the patient to diagnosis-related groups (DRGs), using appropriate computer software Verify accuracy of billing data and revise any errors Operate typing, adding, calculating, or billing machines Prepare itemized statements, bills, or invoices and record amounts due for items purchased or services rendered Review documents such as purchase orders, sales tickets, charge slips, or hospital records to compute fees or charges due Perform bookkeeping work, including posting data or keeping other records concerning costs of goods or services or the shipment of goods Keep records of invoices and support documents 6
7 Resolve discrepancies in accounting records Type billing documents, shipping labels, credit memorandums, or credit forms Contact customers to obtain or relay account information Compute credit terms, discounts, shipment charges, or rates for goods or services to complete billing documents Methods of Attaining the Objectives of the Program Upon receipt of the State Board of Education approval, Southeast Technical Institute will accept up to 24 students beginning in the Fall Semester of The marketing campaign to recruit students will include a comprehensive mix as well as high school visits, college fairs and on-campus recruiting activities. The one-year Medical Coding Diploma will consist of medical terminology and transcription, office procedures, insurance principles, introductory and advanced coding essentials, composition, computers and communications, patient flow, disease processes, Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) and International Classification of Disease Coding (ICD). The students will receive an extensive amount of laboratory time in coding to develop their skill and prepare them for an entry level position. The Medical Coding Program will be offered traditionally, during the day, at Southeast Technical Institute. Southeast Technical Institute will pursue additional service delivery models including hybrid or online programs in Medical Coding to help meet the needs of current coding professionals as they train to make the transition to the International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10) standards. During development of the Medical Coding Diploma program option, Southeast Technical Institute obtained guidance from Advisory Committee members as well as several individuals in the health care industry. Appendix B contains letters of support from several of those individuals and organizations from whom we received input and guidance. 7
8 Description of Labor Market Demands of the United States, State of South Dakota, Student Needs, and Industry Support National Data According to the National Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is an expected increase of 15.49% for Medical Records and Health Information Technicians. This equates to an expected increase of 71,200 positions during this period due to growth and replacements. See Table Below National Employment Matrix title and code Medical Records and Health Information Technician Employment Number Change, Number Percent , ,600 29, % 71,200 Job openings due to growth and replacements, Source: Occupational Outlook Handbook, Medical Records & Health Information Technicians Job Outlook State/Regional Data According to the South Dakota Occupational Employment Projections, there is an expected increase of 12.7% for Medical Records and Health Information Technicians. This is an increase of 130 positions during this period, with 40 average annual openings. With the movement to International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10), the local health care providers have forecasted higher than normal retirements. See Table Below.

9 Student Needs This program will provide students with an opportunity to enter an expanding industry that has many different entry points, areas for growth, and training that meets industry needs. The program provides a background in theory, processes, and general education. Industry support Southeast Technical Institute has met with advisory committee members and several individuals from the health care industry in Sioux Falls and the surrounding region and has received very positive feedback as indicated by the letters of support attached in Appendix B. These companies have indicated the current number of qualified applicants is not sufficient to keep pace with industry growth and attrition. Advisory Committee members have identified two key needs: 1) a program option which allows coders to complete a program in one year and 2) the addition of a program option which provides training in both professional (clinical coding) and hospital-based facility coding. The addition of a Medical Coding Diploma Program and the revision of curriculum within our Medical Coding AAS Degree will allow Southeast Technical Institute to help meet these needs. 9
10 Population Served by the Program Southeast Technical Institute will recruit students from a variety of backgrounds, including both traditional and non-traditional. It is anticipated that this program will attract students directly out of high school in addition to those who are unemployed, underemployed and those wanting to make a career change. Medical Coding Diploma graduates will be able to complete the Medical Coding Diploma Program in one year. Current medical coders who are certified in International Classification of Disease, 9 th Revision (ICD-9) will also be served by the program as they must be trained to use International Classification of Disease, 10 th Revision (ICD-10). Program Capacity The Medical Coding Diploma program will consist of one cohort per year with an enrollment of up to 24 students. Starting Semester Delivery Format Added Capacity Fall 2016 Traditional Day 24 Salaries/Benefits/FTE/Equipment The Coding Program will need one full-time instructor. The program's current staff will continue to lead the program in its revised form. Southeast Technical Institute will utilize existing laboratory space and equipment. The budget below reflects the current operating budget and staff. Projected Three-Year Budget Plan BUDGET PROJECTIONS Year Salaries/Benefits (I FTE) $73, $75, $77, Staff Travel $1, $1, $1, Instructional Materials $10, $10, $10, Capital Equipment $10, $10, $10, Software/Books/Fees $5, $5, $5, Totals $99, $101, $103, *Please note that budget projections reflect the current operating budget and include current staff. 10
11 Program Competencies and entry and exit points of sub-occupations Program Competencies are based upon the standards of the health care industry for billing and coding clerks. The entry and exit points are for that of a traditional one-year diploma program. Students seeking the hospital coding AAS degree can continue to the second year following graduation from the one-year diploma program. Students will be accepted in the fall semester and will graduate in May of each year. Entry Point: Fall 2016 Exit Point: Spring 2017 students will graduate with a Medical Coding Diploma. Those continuing to the program's second year will graduate in spring Statement of non-duplication There are no other Medical Coding Diploma or AAS Programs offered by the South Dakota technical institutes. Western Dakota Tech has a Health Information Management program with a Coding Specialist option, but does not include coursework to the level that students can earn a stand-alone diploma or degree in Medical Coding. Dakota State offers a Coding Certificate and Presentation College offers a Medical Coding Certificate. We continue to see strong demand for graduates and these changes were requested and are supported by Advisory Committee members. Health Care organizations continue to see high demand for qualified coders and the addition of a Medical Coding Diploma program will allow Southeast Technical to provide a program option which allows students to complete their program in one year. Curriculum design and research Southeast Technical Institute designed a tentative curriculum after an extensive review consisting of curriculum searches, academic review of competencies, and through discussion with industry professionals. The curriculum is shown in Appendix A. 11
